What Causes An Infected Pimple In The Nose Causing Facial Swelling?

Hi I visited the doctor today be cause I had a pimple in my nose that made the whole left side of my face swollen and she said it was a follicle infection from wiping my nose too hard. Now my swollen face goes down during the day but when I goto sleep and wake up again my face goes swollen again. Why is that?

Hello,

It may be due to nasal furuncle.

For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.

Heating pads also helps.

Avoid sweating.

Maintain proper hygiene.

Hope I have answered your query.
